The writing style and tone adopted in this book may appear to you a bit irritating and at places non-investigatory and even non-journalistic. But to expect so-called sobriety or mannerism from an author is nothing less than a demand for hypocrisy and denial who finds after a sincere effort that the crisis of identity lies at the heart of growing extremism in our society. At least we cannot put a blame of being hypocrite on the author of this book.

Ahmed Ejaz’s manuscript “Identity Crisis” is a non-traditional book. To reveal the facts as they are without any bias and prejudice is an exceptional service to mankind.

In this book, Ahmad Ejaz has tried to study Pakistani society in the context of historical events and available empirical evidence and facts. Not all his arguments can be denied or agreed upon. However, one thing can certainly be discerned from his writing that he has a strong desire to see establishment of a civilized society in his country.
